No Bake Cheesecake

I always crave cheesecake. But since there’s been a lack of eggs in America lately, I’ve been looking for recipes that don’t call for eggs. So here comes this no bake cheesecake! The recipe calls for creating texture with fully whipped cream and imparting flavor with a combination of cream cheese and mascarpone cheese with touches of vanilla and lemon. I don’t know which I prefer more now, the baked or no baked. It’s so good!

Yaksik (약식)

Yaksik (약식), which is also known as yakbap (약밥) is a Korean dish that is typically enjoyed during Korean holidays such as Seollal (Korean New Year’s Day) and Chuseok (Korean Harvest Festival). Yet, what I remember most from yaksik is that it is one of the foods that my grandma would regularly make. Her yaksik was so delicious and I miss it to this day. This is my attempt at making a version close to hers.

Scones with Clotted Cream and Jam

I went to a cafe in London and fell in love with scones with clotted cream and jam. I’ve never had clotted cream before that, but I instantly was amazed by how good it was and how beautifully it paired with the scones and jam! I knew that I had to have it at home, so here’s my attempt at making this British classic!

Strawberry Matcha Crinkle Cookies

I recently saw Inga Lam’s holiday cookie video and saw that she made matcha crinkle cookies coated in strawberry powdered sugar. I’m a sucker for anything strawberry matcha flavored and so I had to try making these cookies myself! They also make great gifts to hand out during Christmas or at anytime! :D

I always make a christmas cookie box for friends and family around this time of the year so I was thinking about which cookies I should make this time. I made raspberry rugelach before but never tried making chocolate ones. So, I decided to try making chocolate rugelach this time! I’ve been craving chocolate lately, so this might have influenced my decision… haha

Apple Cider Rice Krispies Treats

I love rice krispies treats. So when I was thinking of making something with apples, I thought, why not make an apple cider rice krispies treat similar to an apple cider donut? And lo and behold, there was already a recipe online! haha. This rice krispies treat had a slight tang of the apple cider but I feel like it could have definitely used more of a stronger apple flavor.
